    I can't access my profile and I'm the only person managing my account


    When I go to play games like amoung or minecraft the only things I can do is play single player. If I try to play multiplayer games a message pops up and says "You can't play with content created by other players because of how your account is set up. Go to your privacy & online saftey settings on Xbox.com to change this." But when I try to change the settings Xbox.com takes me to a page that says "Why can't I change my privacy settings." I am the only person managing my account.

    :)

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    Firstly, are you on a child account? (Microsoft automatically assign any account with the age set to below 21 years as a child account). If you're on a child account, you'll need a parent (adult) account in order to change your privacy settings.

    The parent account will need to create a family group and add you as a "Member" while they are the "Organiser" in order to change your settings. Here's a detailed explanation of how to do that https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil....

    If you're not on a child account or to know how to change the settings from an adult account please see here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/family-onli...

    Refer to the "Manage settings on Xbox.com" tab, underneath it you'll find how to manage your privacy settings on an Adult or Child account.

    Are you still a minor? If so thise settings would only be visible from an adult account.

    If you are now an adult, and your account is still a child, it needs upgrading to an adult account:

    After you reach the age of adulthood (which varies by country and region), you can promote a child account to an adult account. This promotion removes the Family Settings and Xbox Live restrictions.

    To promote a child account to an adult account

    • Sign in to Xbox Live by using the account that you want to change.
    • Go to Settings and then select Account.
    • Select Promote Child Account.
      Note This option is available only if the date of birth for the account indicates that you have reached the age of adulthood (18 in the United Kingdom). The legal adult age varies by country and region. The age of an account owner is calculated
      by using the date of birth provided when the account was created. This date cannot be changed. If you entered an incorrect date of birth when you created the account, your only option is to create a new account using the correct date of birth.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to promote the account.

    This happens when your DOB on your account when it was originally setup was set to being under the age of majority (18 in most countries) and it is still under that age.

    By law any account under the age of majority is required to be in a family as a child account.

    There is no way to change this once it is entered in the Xbox system will see that DOB as the DOB for the account.

    You are going to have to either put yourself back into the family you say you removed yourself from or create a new account with an adult account and add your account to that family.

    What can i do if someone has my token to my account? does changing password or email do anything?

    Hi, Klay. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

    Just to confirm, are you referring to someone having access to your account?

    If so, It would be best to change the password so that the other person won't have access to it anymore. It should prompt the person to log in with the new password.

    I would also recommend doing all the procedures from this link to secure your account, https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-pro....
